Everything in the circle and on the berm are doing well. A few of the grasses planted last year are very slow, but the Karl Foresters are great, the hyssop are huge, and all the perennials planted in the circle this spring are growing. I even picked alot of basil yesterday, and made pesto-yum! I will be picking beans in a couple of days! Weeds are also growing like crazy- as soon as we get a soaking rain I'll do some serious pulling. I planted two scabiosa (pin cushion) flowers that are more of a wine color- remind me of clover. As I was digging holes for them I was also reminded of how hard and dry this soil gets - always amazed anything can grow in it.
